If you've ridden the Tour du Rouge you'll know that we are part of a family of riders, supported by Trek.
"Trek started in a small Wisconsin barn in 1976, but our founders always saw something bigger. Decades later, we're on a mission to make our world a better place to live and ride".
The Arc is the largest national community-based organization advocating for and serving people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) and their families. They encompass all ages and more than 100 different diagnoses including Autism, Down Syndrome, Fragile X Syndrome, and various other developmental disabilities.
With nearly 700 state and local chapters nationwide, The Arc is on the front lines to ensure that people with intellectual and developmental disabilities and their families have the support and services they need to be fully engaged in their communities. The Arc works with its federation of state and local chapters to create an impressive network of human service agencies ensuring they have the strongest civil rights advocates promoting and protecting their needs at all levels.
Their nationwide network of chapters provides a wide range of human services and other supports to people with IDD and their family members, including individual and public policy advocacy and residential, educational, and vocational services that let people with IDD participate and be included in their communities. In addition, many of their chapters provide person-centered and financial planning, recreational activities, and other supports that meet the unique needs of people with IDD and their families.
This is why we ride.
The Bike:
This year we are excited to be giving you the chance to win such an epic bike! The Madone SLR was rigorously tested with the men’s and women’s Trek-Segafredo race teams. It's faster, lighter and fit for the biggest events on the cycling calendar, including the Tour de France! Every element of the new Madone Gen 7 was created in Treks most aerodynamic road race bike ever, including a new generation of Kammtail tube shapes, an aero-optimised cockpit and all-new IsoFlow technology that smooths air as it moves over the bike and accelerates it through the frame for even more free speed. All-new IsoFlow technology soaks up fatiguing bumps in the road so you can ride stronger for longer. A race-focused evolution of IsoSpeed comfort, IsoFlow flexes over bumps for a smoother ride, improves aerodynamics and shaves weight to save precious seconds in the saddle. This SLR comes in the standard 5 colors Trek offers but, you can opt for Treks Project One (additional fee) and customize the paintjob transforming your wildest ideas into reality.
